Hi everyone! I’m trying to apply a mask to extract a polygonal region from a given WKT but after generating the RGB image from the applied mask I get a different image compared to the original one. If I visually inspect the pixels on both the original product and the final one I can see that they have kind of “shifted” their values by some amount. Here are the steps that I’m doing:
- Open a product. I’m starting off from a GRD product to which I have previously applied both calibration and Range-Doppler terrain correction (in that order). This is what I see when I create the RGB image:
-
Then I right click in the image and select the “Geometry from WKT” function to which I paste the following WKT:

This is what I see at this point (note that I’m attaching two images to visually compare the pixel values, as you can see most of the pixels inside the polygon are originally dark):
- From the menu bar I go to: Raster → Masks → Land/Sea Mask and then select the following parameters:
- I generate the RGB image, this is what I get (polygon on and off respectively):
If I compare this last image with the third one that I posted indeed they look very different. I tried to adjust the color and the transparency options from the Mask Manager prior applying the Land/Sea Mask operator thinking that maybe colors are somehow shifted due to mask settings, but obviously I’m wrong about that.
I’m unable to understand what I’m doing wrong. My goal is to perform this operation with many polygons through snappy (so before stepping into the code I decided to run this manually for a single polygon to make sure I’m on track) to extract them and export them to GeoTIFF so then I can later display them in a map in another application. For testing purposes after generating the last product I tried to export it to the GeoTIFF format and while it doesn’t give me any errors it leaves an empty .tif file in the drive.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to achieve this?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Lucas.
